[QUOTE="mgctch, post: 8924394, member: 694747"] Thank you for your input,. There is too much you have given for me to mull on for me to comment at this time. I will definitly research all your recommendations. Regarding the sub recommendations the key for me is whether they are open air subs. I do not want a box cluttering my trunk. The reason for the Orions is that research suggests that they are recommended replacements for blown Lexus subs as they perfectly fit the 8" hole in the rear deck. Orion says they designed it to be shallow open air to specifically fit Toyota Avalons, Lexus300 and 350 and certain BMW. But I will look into ALL your suggestions. Didnt know a contra bassoon hit that low in frequency range, but I not sure I want to design system to hit the occasional bassoon note in a specific piece of music. However your info is very very interesting to me. Re the Mundorfs, aiming is a problem, I concede, as in all ribbon/planers, (AMTs are a bit wider), Decades ago I owned 8 ft Magnepans then Quads, familiar with the problems. Horizontal vs vertical installation was intended as an experiment. Placement of Mundorfs on ball joint stands which allow for easy rotation in multiple directions was my proposed solution to the placement problem. I can move the speaker until it is aimed best. Re the center speaker, as I noted, I do NOT just listen to music in my vehicle. I listen to news, sports, and college lectures. Speech, lectures, in stereo just do not sound good to me. Mono is best. The center speaker is designed to be used with the Helix conductor to have a "tune" that blanks out ALL other speakers, especially deep base, except for the center so that all talk comes through the full range Tang. Your ideas need to be reflected upon by me. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
